Maybe the simple solution is for players to just mind their business and let DMs worry about enforcing rules.

That about covers it.

Just so that everyone knows, if a DM thinks a name is borderline we have a thread that they post to and it is discussed. (This discussion is open to all team members not just DM's). If we feel a name change is needed then we go that way, if we feel the name is ok as is we go that way.

As a player, if you see a name that you think is a problem, then I suggest that you:
1) Say nothing to the player
2) Send an email to staff@avlis.org

rantsYou know, I think a lot of trouble could be dealth with right then and there if someone came up with a way for a player to block tells from another player. Kinda like the old days when you could /ignore 'name' and get on with your life.
